vTo all 'whom z't may concern Beit known that we, ARTHUR C. BLACK- BURN and BERT B.' SH'IEK, citizens of the United States, residin at Vincennes, in the county of Knox and tate of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curtain-Pole and lVindow-Shade Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention isa combination curtain pole and shade roller support, designed especially for ready clamping upon a window casing, and; for quick removal therefrom, no nails or screws being employed. :for the purpose ofv attaching the holder to the casing.

The invention also consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter described, pointed out in the claim and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a face view of one of the liolders in position, a curtain pole and shade holder and a portion of a shade being indicated in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the holder in position, a window casing being shown in section. Fi 3 is an end view of the holder detached. i .,4 is a transverse section through *the holder, a shade roller support being also shown in section `and partly in elevation.

It will be understood that two of these devices are employed in connection with each window, but as they are duplicates only one has been illustrated. The ,device consists of a plate 1 longitudinally vslotted as shown at 4, land one end of said plate is bent at a right-angle, and is provided-with tongues 3 bent upon themsel'ves to form prongs whichvare adapted to bite into the window casing. A plate 5 similar .in size to the end portion 2 of the plate 1 is carried by said plate at a right-angle thereto and is slidable along the slot 4. The plate 5 also carries tongues similar to those at 3 and these bite int'o the opposite side of the window casing. The plate 5 is moved Specication of Letters Patent.
